As such Designing Smiles at Mission Hills meet with each patient to discuss their health concerns and goals prior to recommending any specific dental procedures. If you live in Fremont, we invite you to schedule an appointment by calling 510-659-0130. During your examination, we can look for any signs of infection or cavities, discuss what you do and don’t like about your smile, and determine the best way to proceed.

In the past, dental work was rather rudimentary without very many options for treating or restoring teeth. Fortunately, technology has revolutionized dentistry, and there are now a variety of options for treating all types of oral health concerns. Gone are the days where teeth were pulled on a regular basis. Now, the majority of damaged or infected teeth can be saved when treated early enough. Simultaneously, if teeth do fall out there are a variety of procedures for replacing them that go well beyond removable dentures.

If you have had dental work done in the past or are currently wearing dentures and are not satisfied with the results, schedule an appointment with Designing Smiles at Mission Hills. Our dental procedures use the latest in dental technology allowing us to improve the appearance and functionality of former restorations. For example, we can replace old metal fillings or crowns with tooth-colored ones for a more natural appearance. We can also treat teeth that have had a bonding procedure in the past, if the material is now looking old and dated.

Why do most people need Root Canal Therapy Fremont?

When a tooth becomes infected, that infection can spread into the center of the tooth. Inside this area, known as the dental pulp, is the nerves, connective tissue, and blood vessels. All of the sensitive areas of the tooth are contained here. As such, when the area becomes infected it can be incredibly painful, requiring immediate treatment. We can perform Root Canal Therapy Fremont quickly on people living in and around the 94539 area.

How does the treatment work?

A Root Canal Therapy Fremont works by creating a small hole in the tooth so that all of the infected areas can be removed. The dental pulp is removed, and oftentimes so are the roots. You only need your tooth roots to feel sensations like hot and cold and for the tooth to grow in. Once it has fully matured, removing the roots will not directly harm the tooth. It can, however, prevent the further spread of infection so when it is necessary to remove the roots; we promptly do so. Once done, we will clean the area and prescribe antibiotics to ensure that the infection is gone.

Designing Smiles at Mission Hills is an expert at restorative dentistry and makes each restoration blend in with the surrounding teeth. Whether replacing an old crown or fixing a tooth that has recently been cracked or chipped, the tooth will look fantastic once done and it will be difficult, if not impossible, to distinguish the difference between the natural teeth and the restored one. There are a variety of types of dental work that can be used to accomplish this goal including dental veneers and dental crowns. Those that want to have a tooth replaced may benefit from a dental bridge, dental implants or modern dentures instead. Regardless of what procedure is necessary, we will ensure that it is completed to perfection.

At Designing Smiles at Mission Hills, we also work to ensure that patients remain comfortable and relaxed while having dental work done. We can offer several types of sedation to make this a possibility. We understand that many adults have concerns over getting their teeth worked on and at times, simply need to relax. Whether you do so through sedation or friendly conversation, we are here to help. With more intensive procedures, we will ensure that you do not feel any discomfort along the way. If you live in or around the 94539 area, you can count on us to complete dental procedures in a way that looks amazing and restores the functionality of your teeth while keeping you comfortable.
